SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,327, dated May 31,1904.

Application filed November 28, 1902. Serial No. 133,152. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED G. SMITH, a-citizen of the United States,residing at Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement inStoves, ofwhich improvement the following is a specification.

- This invention relates to an improved gas stove; andv it consists inthe certain details of construction and combination of parts, as will befully described hereinafter;

In the accompanying drawings, Figure-1 is a perspective view of myimproved stove, the

same being constructed and arranged in ac- Flg. 2 is a cencordance withmy invention. tral side sectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is asectional ,plan view of the stove. Fig. e is a reduced plan view of theblank forming the back, sides, and top of the stove. Fig. v5 is asimilar view of the blank forming the back wall and burner. Fig. 6 is aview of the blank forming the air-mixer. To put my invention intopractice, and there'- by form the body portion, the back wall, andburner from two pieces of sheet metal, I provide a sheet of thin metalof a suitable size and out or shear the same in the form shown at Fig. 1of the drawings, which consists of'the top or cap portion 1, the sidewalls 2 and 3, when bent at the rjghtangles to the sheet, and theintegral front portion orfender 4:, the said fender being flanged toengage with the side portion 3, as shown in Fig. 3. This piece whenbent'in form as above described will form the body portion of the stove,and by means of suitable screws 7 the same is held rigid in the formshown'at Fig. l of the drawings. I now provide arectangular sheet ofmetal 8,(see Fig.5,) having an opening 9 at a point near the topand asomewhat smaller. opening 10 near the bottom, together with a series ofminute perforations 11, extending across the base of the said sheet. Thelower portion of this sheet is bent in the form of a cylinder to formthe burner 12 and the. whole supported within the body portion ofthe-stove in any suitable manner and the ends of the burner12 fittedwith cap-pieces.

Connected to the burner 12 at the opening 10 is an air-mixer 13, whichis formed from a small piece of sheet metal, the contour of which isshown at Fig. 6 of the drawings, the said piece 13 being provided withradial portions 14:, each of which is provided'with an opening- 15, andwhen the said fender 4;, will admit air both to the stove and to themixer 13.

The back wall Sis arranged within the stove in a position that will forma compartment 17 and the front of the said wall covered with asbestos ormineral-wool fiber 18.

It will be seen that the stove constructed as described is practicallyformed from two sheets'of metal, not including the end pieces of theburner 12 or the air-mixer 18.

Various slight modifications and changes may be made in the details ofconstruction without departing from the spirit of the invention.Therefore I do not confine myself to the exact construction shown anddescribed.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is In combination with a gas-stove,'the body portion,the back 8 having its lower end turned into a cylindrical roll withapertures 11 therein, an air-mixer 13 underneath said roll and incontact therewith and having bottom strips with apertures, which stripsare adapted to be radially arranged to bring said apertures intoregistration to receive a gas-supply pipe,- and provided withair-inlet-spaces intermediate said strips, as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses. r
